Q: What are the “Alones” of the church?

A: Sola is the Latin word for “alone”. Five phrases came from writings during the Protestant Reformation (the time during and after Martin Luther), based on teaching throughout Scripture, to explain their beliefs.

The Five Solas (or “Alones”) are:

  • Sola Fide, by faith alone.
  • Sola Scriptura, by Scripture alone.
  • Solus Christus, through Christ alone.
  • Sola Gratia, by grace alone.
  • Soli Deo Gloria, glory to God alone.

This three-part study (Part One: Scripture & Christ Alone, Part Two: Faith & Grace Alone, Part Three: Glory to God alone) will explore each Sola and offer a modern-day application for teens.

Soli Deo Gloria!
